Want to Create a Bright Future? Check out the Characteristics and Excellence of the Chemistry Postgraduate Program at IPB University
The Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) University together with the Chemistry Postgraduate Student Association (Imapaska) are trying to further introduce the IPB University Chemistry Postgraduate Study Program to students through the Chem Next Generation (Chem Next-G) event.
This activity is a forum for informing as well as sharing experiences of alumni related to the Chemistry Postgraduate Study Program IPB University. The participants consisting of students, bachelor’s and master’s alumni enthusiastically participated in a series of activities with the theme ‘Create a Bright Future at the Chemistry Postgraduate Program of IPB’.
“We hope that the participants will be interested in joining as Postgraduate Chemistry students at IPB University after participating in Chem Next-G,” said Prof. Dyah Iswantini Pradono, Head of the Chemistry Department at IPB University when opening the online activity recently.
She continued, IPB University’s Chemistry Postgraduate Study Program had been very well accredited. In addition, various international programs and collaborations are also encouraged so that the profile of the Chemistry Postgraduate Program at IPB University will be even more superior.
Prof. Purwantiningsih Sugita, lecturer at the Department of Chemistry at IPB University said, the unique characteristic of the Chemistry Postgraduate Study Program at IPB University compared to other tertiary institutions is its scientific mandate.
“IPB University’s Chemistry Postgraduate Curriculum is research-based, according to the mandate and vision and mission of IPB University so that it can develop basic knowledge (chemistry) for the agricultural, fisheries and tropical sectors. Students are also required to have skills in processing these sectors so that they can become superior products that are competitive,” she said.
IPB University’s Chemistry Postgraduate Study Program, he said, emphasized research for biomaterial commodities. Through various manipulations, items that were previously useless become added value.
This mandate is of particular interest to alumni and students of the Chemistry Postgraduate Program at IPB University. Suharti MSi, IPB University Chemistry Masters alumni, said that the synergy program she chose was very much in line with her interests.
“I can conduct research on the synthesis of Indonesia’s biodiversity and explore its potential,” she said.
M Miftahul Madya MSi, PhD student in Chemistry at IPB University also said that various excellent scientific publications based on biomaterial research were also an attraction for him. “Seeing the various publications published by the Chemistry Postgraduate Study Program IPB University attracted my interest in deepening metabolomics material,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hemas Arif Rahman SSi, a postgraduate student in Chemistry at IPB University, revealed that he could study biomaterial-oriented prospective technologies more deeply.
“Facilities such as an advanced laboratory containing advanced tools provided by IPB University also greatly support research on the theme of biomaterials,” concluded Hemas.
Another uniqueness is that students can also register through the research program. Students will be directed to take postgraduate studies based on research, not regular teaching and learning. This opportunity can be the right choice for students who want to study with an emphasis on research and still graduate on time. (MW/Rz) (IAAS/AMR).
